Apart from the lovely piano intro, yes, it does struggle to maintain the interest, rather like the whole album. I think Maiden seriously should consider going back to the shorter songs. They're not a progressive metal band, though they seem determined to try to be one.

No. No it doesn't. "Sign of the Cross" is like am eleven minute borefest. I think the only song I can rate at all on
X Factor is "Lord of the Flies", and even that's stretching it.
(Cue
X Factor song coming up next!
